:lol:

Haha, are you being sarcastic?

Yeah, like that time he cried when his father died. What a pussy!

When he bumped into AJ? Please elaborate.

Hahahaha, he cried cause she fell down? Glorious.

ahahaha found it on YT

The crowd with the "she's ok" chants. Probably just so Big Show stops crying like a bitch.

Hope that Batista runs through all the internet favorites besides AJ.

The only time it was ever great was when he didn't hesitate at all to punch Miz while being in the conflicted state.

The week before, Show is pretty much sobbing over having to punch Dusty Rhodes. The next week he straight up punches Miz the first chance he gets and leaves the ring more pissed at doing Steph's bidding again than hurting Miz.

Wish my "Daniel Bryan uses the D.E.N.N.I.S. system on AJ Lee" video wasn't taken down from YouTube due to copyright......

Super weird to gain heat by knocking out the Miz.

Kurt Angle pretty much confirmed rumors of Jason Jordan getting the "Son of Angle" push was only as a practical joke made at Angle's expense. Might explain why the storyline has been terrible since they probably never really thought beyond the initial ribbing.

Came from a recent interview he had at a fan event last weekend at the iPlay America theme park in New Jersey.

Imagining Vince going to the writer's room and yelling "Make Jason Jordan Kurt Angle's son! It'll be a hilarious prank!", and the writers all exchanging glances like "this dude is nuts", but then just nodding and saying "Great idea, Vince!"

This has been a known habit of WWE, though: they really don't think beyond one idea or angle or moment, or how it can grow and evolve or possibly hinder and stifle someone in the long run. It is usually about short term gains and instant gratification in ratings, ticket/merch sales, or simply Vince's whims. Screw how it comes off to the fans. Screw how this can impact JJ's career trajectory for good or ill. Funny rib on Kurt; his reaction is caught on film forever!!! :|

Even the slow pitch "gimmie" of this angle being a ploy by Jason Jordan to get some noteriety with a heel turn and a match against Kurt doesn't even sound like a given, with Kurt "hoping" it leads to a match instead of keeping that close to the vest because it is an actual goal of the story that is written in. Nope. Just "Hey, wouldn't it be funny if Kurt has an illigitimate mulatto son? Let's do that!" with no plan on where to go from there.

Doesn't surprise me. I mean, the angle didn't come with any sort of push. Unless you consider losing to The Miz and having "showcase" matches that don't get anywhere a push.

Did Shelton Benjamin always look this big? Almost everyone on the tag division looks smaller than him.

No he had a growth spurt

For real though, it's just that the average height of guys has shrunk over the last decade so returning people look taller than they used to. I always assumed Drew was 6'3 or 6'4 somewhere around there, but he comes back to NXT and he's actually 6'7" towering over the current NXT roster.

Im sure Im in the minority, but Im liking Jason Jordans Character. Hes playing a wimp thats having to act tough in front of his dad to perfection. If they turn him heel they could end up having something here

Indeed. Even Jeff Hardy looks bigger in comparison.

Yeah, everybody is smaller now. And no one is allowed to promo, so even shit promos from yesteryear are stellar talkers now.

Even The Rock looked bigger than Cena.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._John_Cena.jpg

The Rock is not a small guy. Always seemed much smaller than he was. Dude's like 6'5.

The Jumping Nothing by Joey Maggs.

Can't really see why Axl Rotten didn't make it long in WCW.

seemed small because evernwas so flippin huge then

Yeah, that's true. And the guy would also fucking move, which you probably didn't associate with guys his size back then.

According to PWI, Matt Hardy is set to become the legal owner of the "Broken" trademark in a couple of weeks since it appears Anthem is no longer interested in opposing it.

Anthem tried to save some face during an interview with Sports Illustrated saying they have given permission for WWE to use the gimmick even though its becoming more apparent they never really owned it.

Sports Illustrated also reported Matt will only be using a "Broken"-like character in the WWE likely because WWE wants some rights to the gimmick after Hardy leaves.

Sorry, but nobody's, TBH. His 2014 run was wildly unpopular. I literally can't recall a single thing he did other than getting booed practically off RAW when he returned, and him being dressed like a Smurf at some PPV (Payback?). #BOOtista #Bluetista

I don't know that it's as much them not wanting to oppose it as quite possibly just not being financially able to when the opposition phase starts December 19.

Even with their current financial mess, Anthem has a lot more money to contest the trademark than Hardy does especially with WWE not getting involved.

More likely they just don't have the paperwork needed to actually oppose it and probably would have been rejected if they used the same paperwork done for their own filings.

The way the case has been going, it was leaning towards Matt as the owner because Anthem waited too long to file a trademark and Hardys using the gimmick outside of Impact.

This is so much fuss about fucking nothing.

It's not nothing if it's over. Doesn't really matter if you like it or not, guy has people chanting "delete" in every arena he goes to. Clearly money to be made off it.

Figgy is right...but it does nothing for me so in that i agree with noid.

If it's over. If. It didn't draw in TNA. It didn't even draw that well on YouTube (more people have probably watched the YouTube clip of Bray Wyatt beating Matt Hardy from Raw than have seen the Broken Universe stuff). It doesn't matter if I like it or not, but I'm calling it now -- big flop. Although everyone will blame the company even though the idea itself was fucking garbage from the start.

It might sell a few t-shirts or something, but wouldn't The Hardys already be doing fine in that department? With Hardy as as singles guy, why not give it a shot? You need to stick your finger in the air and see which way the wind is blowing -- but the people still watching wrestling aren't trend-setters and aren't really the sort of people whose opinions you should be listening to, by and large.

Oh no, it's going to be God awful.

Broken Matt Hardy from the team thst brings you Bray Wyatt promos.... I'm shuddering just thinking about it.

Yeah, it will probably be bad no matter what side of the fence you fall on the broken gimmick, but I think enough people will buy the merch regardless, and that's all that matters to WWE.

The Hardy Boyz returning to the WWE has got 22,000,000+ views on YouTube. The Cleasning of Jeff Hardy hasn't reached 10% of that. Just to put things into perspective a bit. And everyone with access to YouTube can see all these videos, mind you. I think internet fans kind of go into a bubble with this sort of stuff.

I actually think the WWE will do a better job than TNA did with it, or could do with it. I think they will trust Matt Hardy's "creativity." I just think it will suck. More people will be subjected to it than ever, and they will ask "What the fuck were you geeks going on about?". If I am wrong, I will readily admit it.

OR it will actually be hilarious watching it fail, and it will fit more within the boundaries of reality, so people new to it will actually find it pretty great, but "purists" will hate it and lament that Matt is not a main eventer, but he'll have hit his true ceiling and will be doing more significant work than he was doing in TNA.

I don't care if he's a main eventer or not, if the segments are good I'll just watch the segments much like I was doing with the TNA version. But considering most of WWE is bad right now and I very much doubt they will let Matt Hardy do what he wants since they script everyone word for word.

Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but to me it feels like if some Hollywood studio came along and said "Hey, we're remaking The Room! We even got Tommy Wiseau!". We know it's going to suck, but not in the same way that made the original so endearing.

Just read Nia Jax and Alexa Bliss are BFFs in real life.

They must look hilarious together. Jax is exactly my height and Bliss is exactly my ex's height. Not to mention the weight difference between the two.

Ummm...he was a lot bulkier during his last stint.

the rock is fucking massive lol

And then she married the king of shovels ;)

Rumor going around the net is Lio Rush might be getting released soon by the WWE. Basis for the rumor involves him suddenly removing all WWE related stuff from his Twitter account which usually tends to be a sign someone got released or is about to get released.

You can't really compare the youtube videos fairly, because one is a video of the biggest wrestling event of the year, and the other is of TNA.

With the WWE machine behind it, I think they can make a lot of money off it. We are still the 2% of the fanbase. The WWE's main demographic is still kids, and they'll go for anyone WWE tells them to.

According to the Observer, the reason Anthem dropped out from the Broken trademark dispute was due to Matt Hardy having the paperwork needed to reject any claim Anthem made for the gimmick.

Anthem also felt it was a lot easier and a way to save face by giving their talents all rights to their gimmicks than be embarrassed in court and likely set a precedent where all their talents would own their gimmicks.

Eli Drake is a really good talker.

He's not a dummy, yeah?

Let him talk to ya.

That Thanksgiving episode of Impact was one of the dumbest fucking things I've ever watched in my life.

To be fair, Nothing really draws at TNA. Look at AJ. Look at Angle. Look at Joe. All Stars but didnt draw a dime really. Broken Matt is the only chance hes got to stay relevant. Why not at this point?

There's no detriment to having Broken Matt in WWE. If it goes over, it makes a bit of money for the company and Hardy, helps him regain some relevance and, at the very least, throws an interesting character into the mix. If it bombs, well, Hardy was going nowhere anyway.

The Edge and Christian podcast is really, really good.

Also, was this Starrcade event on the Network?

Nope. At least not yet.

No, but anything worth seeing was shown on wwe.com

Why Starrcade though?

I love me some Iconic Duo.

Kairi Sane is pretty tight too.

John Cena has apparently been posting Watchmen-related images on his Instagram.... perhaps he will be in the HBO TV show?!

https://static2.cbrimages.com/wp-con...h=518&fit=crop

Just them wanting to boost the attendance of their usual shows in North Carolina. Even with the initial announcement, seemed like it was going to have a small bump at best but once Ric Flair was announced for the show, tickets sales spiked.

Moustache Mountain is a really fun team to watch.

Dunno, I guess I'm just really into NXT these days.

Holy hell, the NXT main even this week was straight up hot FIRE. Kudos to all involved there, and I don't normally dig Mandrews that much.

Never knew Macho Man voiced a character on King of the Hill cartoon series.

Don't think I've ever seen this episode on FOX or Cartoon Network/Adult Swim before until tonight.

Watched NXT for the second week in a row after taking a hiatus.... gonna try to get back into it.

Main event was good. Tyler Bate looking like less of a wanker/overgrown midget rassler.

Forgot how Mauro Ranallo can be good and then unbearable in the span of 10 seconds.

This should be good:

Doesn't top Savage on Space Ghost though

Ford suing John Cena

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...car/915846001/

I wonder if this impacts WM being in Detroit

I hate Jason Jordan's entrance, all the lights and Tron graphics are green and yellow, yet his trunks are always red.

Naito seems disappointed he didn't clock Hiromu in the head with that one.

I've seen pictures of him in green and yellow.

I have as well

Doubtful

Don't bet on it!

A house show booked in Greensboro on Thanksgiving weekend. Why not Starrcade? It got butts in the seats.

Ford owns the Lions who play in Ford Field where WM was going to be ...

Cesaro and Sheamus should drive F150s since ford uses the same "Didn't raise the bar we are the bar" slogan

I’m aware, but Cena has already come out and apologized to Ford and said he was gonna try and work it out with them

The crack in wcw must have been of exceptional quality.

Trent Seven is a national treasure.

Not sure I buy the rumor that WrestleMania is set to be in Detroit.
